That is it from this game. The trophy has been handed over to Craig Ervine of Zimbabwe for winning the series. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. That is it from here, it is goodbye for now.
Craig Ervine says they pulled the game well after the first 10 overs with the ball. Shares he is happy to get some runs and give a good start to the team. Reckons he is happy the way Wesley Madhevere is playing. Tells there is still a lot of work to do and they are looking forward to it.
Sean Williams is the Player of the Match and Player of the Series as well for his all-round performance. He says it is a nice feeling to get the team over the line. Adds their bowlers bowled really well. Reckons he was carrying an injury but is happy to get some runs. Shares they are preparing for the World Cup qualifiers and it is going well.
Scott Edwards says they had enough runs but Zimbabwe got a good start and batted well. Feels they should have won the second game. Reckons they have performed pretty well and hopes to perform well in the future from hereon. Tells they are looking forward to the next series.
...Presentation time..
Netherlands won the first game with ease and had a chance to seal in the second game but gave away from being in a commanding position. However, the third game turned out to be a one-sided affair as the host completed a fine comeback.
Netherlands needed wickets and that too early on but failed dearly. They never looked like they will make a comeback anytime. Shariz Ahmad got two wickets in quick time but that too didn't help much. Frankly, Netherlands were short of runs, they needed their batting to click in this must win game but Zimbabwe showed class with the ball and sealed the series with ease. Good comeback from the home team after being 1-0 down.
A comfortable win for Zimbabwe and with that they clinch the series. They made it look so easy. Zimbabwe were chasing an under-par score and got a perfect start from Wesley Madhevere and Ervine. There were not many risky shots and played it firmly. Just around 100, Zimbabwe lost both in quick succession but then Gary Ballance and Sean Williams stitched another big partnership to finish it off. Gary Ballance showed his experience as he scored a fifty and stayed till end to work it out.
